The "get yours" mentality is flawed because all you end up doing is imprisoning large sections of the population for poverty-driven crime, and you end up paying for their imprisonment.

What do prisoners get while in prison? Basic necessities, like food, shelter, warmth.

A kind of basic income, if you will.

Basic income except the rich and powerful cannot stop outside their home?
